Apple 6400 appendix Connecting Equipment for Special Purposes, Connecting to a network

Read this chapter only if you want to connect to a local area network, to a TV, or to video equipment.

8 Connecting Equipment for Special Purposes

This chapter contains information that is useful only if you want to connect your computer to networking equipment or to a TV or video equipment. (For information on connecting TV or video equipment, see the last section of this chapter and see Chapter 9, “Installing Expansion Cards.”)

Connecting to a network

This section contains information only for people whose computers are connected to other computers through a local area network. A local area network lets computers communicate with each other—for example, in businesses, it is what enables more than one computer to share a printer and access documents on a central, shared server.

Note: Using a modem is not the same as being connected to a local area network. If you have a modem and the appropriate software that makes use of it, you already have access to online services. If your computer came with a modem, see the appropriate manuals that came with your computer for more information about using online services.
